Renner says he’s out of Avengers Doomsday ‘Avengers will lose’
The Marvel Cinematic Universe is gearing up for some seismic events, but the real drama isn’t just in the cosmic battles—it’s in the casting speculation and the legendary banter between the stars. When the spotlight turns to the monumental event of Avengers: Doomsday, questions about who will be on the roster are already swirling, particularly concerning the status of Hawkeye, Jeremy Renner.
Renner, the celebrated star known for his iconic role as Hawkeye, has weighed in on the rumors with a dose of dry humor. When pressed about his involvement in the impending event, he firmly denied being a part of the main cast, suggesting that if the team faces a challenge, they are bound to lose, especially against a formidable foe like Doctor Doom, played by Robert Downey Jr.
His reasoning is clear: “Doomsday I’m not in, so The Avengers will probably lose, just so you know… they didn’t call me so it’s their fault they’re going to lose.” This lighthearted deflection drew a reaction from fans, who immediately linked his joke to previous MCU sagas. Indeed, this sentiment echoed the memory of Avengers: Infinity War, where the team ultimately fell to Thanos, and further reinforced the idea that the team’s success—as seen in Avengers: Endgame—depended on the full assembly of heroes.
Despite the clear dismissal, the rumor mill remains active. While Renner insists he is not returning for Doomsday, whispers persist that Hawkeye might reappear in future cosmic conflicts. Some fans are quick to tease that he will feature in Avengers: Secret Wars, a possibility that the star also claims to not be involved in.
Behind the scenes, director Anthony Russo has confirmed that the cast for Doomsday remains incredibly sprawling, leading to a delightful amount of mystery. While some cast members have been unveiled, there are still surprises to come. This scale of the event is evident in the assembled roster, which includes established heavyweights like Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom and Chris Hemsworth as Thor, alongside emerging heroes from the Fantastic Four, the Thunderbolts, and the Wakandans.
The stage is set for a colossal event. Avengers: Doomsday is scheduled to hit cinemas on December 18, with a UK release on December 16. As the universe prepares for the next chapter, the anticipation builds for these epic conflicts and the inevitable, and perhaps humorous, return of the established heroes.
